    Great food, the fillet steak was great, but even better teamed with the truffle chips! Good wine list too.

    Front of house staff was awful and didn't seem like he wanted to be there but Wait staff were good. I've been a fan of Tom's Kitchen for a long time but this was a disastrous visit. We won't be back to this venue.

    While the staff were all very pleasant, we felt that the service was quite slow and that the food, although good, was overpriced.

    A great recommendation from a friend - came for lunch with my daughter. Great menu - we started with the charcuterie platter and had a fabulous bottle of Malbec. LOVED the presentation of the bill!

    Everything was just about right, but we were rather surprised not to be offered a lunch menu, just the brunch. However we saw items we liked on the brunch menu and ordered without comment. Service was very good, but this time we did get "hovered" over a bit. Last time, a Sunday, the waiter was at the end of the room not staring at us, but immediately with us when we signalled. He was entertaining and informative when required. This is ideal, and it's worth extra training if necessary to attain this perfection of service!! All in all, a very happy occasion for relatives to meet up, made even more comfortable by the lovely staff of Somerset House in the adjacent lounge. Toilets never seem to function fully or properly, but that is not I would think, the main concern of Tom's. They are the only area in which Somerset House lets them down.
